Robert Stone's first book.

Rheinhardt, a disk jockey and failed musician, rolls into New Orleans looking for work and another chance in life. What he finds is a woman physically and psychically damaged by the men in her past and a job that entangles him in a right-wing political movement. Peopled with civil rights activists, fanatical Christians, corrupt politicians, and demented Hollywood stars, A Hall of Mirrors vividly depicts the dark side of America that erupted in the sixties.

With quote from Wallace Stegner on front flap:

"There is an almost unprecedented quality of reality in this book and in all its people, and the reality does not flag even when Stone lets his book crest as nightmare. I am swept along, I believe him. Stone writes like a bird, like an angel, like a circus barker, like a con man, like someone so high on pot that he is scraping his shoes on the stars."
